This week on Two Dads Having a Beer, we crack one open with Tate Marble — owner of The West End Tavern in Tioga, Florida — and a dad who took his family around the world for a year.

From sipping beers in Indonesia to flipping lights off like his old man back home, Tate brings stories of international parenting, deep conversations with his 5-year-old son, and the real tension of trying to be present while running a business that never stops.

We talk beer, balance, travel, lawn mowing (his Zen), and what fatherhood looks like in other cultures — all with a cold one in hand.

This episode was recorded while host Brandon Labonte repped Station II Brewery, and Tate sipped his favorites: Bell’s Two Hearted.

🎙️ Episode Title:
🎵 “All for You… and the Kids Too” — Drew Copeland of Sister Hazel Talks Music, Fatherhood, and Faith

📢 Podcast Description:
In this heartfelt episode of Two Dads Having a Beer, host Brandon Labonte cracks a cold one with someone you probably already know — even if you didn’t realize he was also a dad just trying to do his best.

Drew Copeland, founding member of the band Sister Hazel, joins the podcast to talk about what life looks like off the stage. From touring the world to bedtime stories, from writing songs to building a family legacy — this conversation is funny, honest, and deeply moving (yeah… Drew cried a little).

🎶 We talk about:

• How being in a band prepared him and failed him as a dad
• Why being a spiritual leader at home is harder than it sounds
• Their family tradition of 13 straight years of Disney trips
• The beauty of letting go as your kids grow up
• Balancing the applause of a crowd with the quiet of parenting
• And what it’s like being in Sister Hazel for over 30 years

🧔‍♂️ Guest Dad Profile:
Drew is a Gainesville/Newberry-based husband, dad of 3 (Kellar, Haven, Briggs), insurance agent by day, and touring musician by night. He’s been a part of Sister Hazel since 1993, has performed across the globe, and still makes time to be present at home. His wife Jasmyn is the owner of Neat Method Gainesville, and their family is built on love, faith, and music.

🍺 Beer Check:

I’m Brandon Labonte — da

All beers are selected by us randomly and this show has no affiliation with the makers, also we are not intending this podcast to take the place of Therapy if you need it or are going through it, this is for entertainment purposes, mainly for us.

In this episode of Two Dads Having a Beer, Brandon sits down with retired Air Force veteran and full-time homemaker Casey Ames — a dad who’s navigated deployments, career shifts, and now the daily challenges of parenting two boys, ages 14 and 18.

Casey talks about:

• The transition from military life to home life
• What it’s like to support his wife’s career full-time
• Staying connected to teenage sons
• Why fatherhood is the real adventure
• And yes… that time he met Gilligan

Brandon reps Swan Brewing Co. while sipping on a King Maker brew, and Casey sticks with a tried-and-true Yuengling.

Hit play for laughs, real talk, and a reminder that being a present father is powerful stuff.
